Initial Setup
• Read all Important Safeguards before use. Failure to do so
may result in property damage and/or personal injury.
• Remove all packaging material from in and around the
cooker, and verify that all parts are accounted for.
• Use only the Instant Pot Duo SV lid with the Instant Pot Duo
SV pressure cooker.
• Place the cooker on a stable, level surface, away from
external heat sources.
• Follow Care & Cleaning instructions in the Safety, Maintenance
& Warranty guide to wash the cooker before cooking.
• Do not remove safety warning stickers from lid, serial number

2Check Sealing Ring & Sealing Ring Rack
Remove: Pull sealing ring out from behind sealing ring rack.
Inspect sealing ring rack. It should be centered in the lid and an even height
all the way around.
Sealing ring must be installed before use. Note: An extra sealing ring
is included. Use one for sweet dishes and the other for savoury dishes.
Only one ring should be installed when using your cooker.
Install: Place sealing ring over sealing ring rack and press into place.
Ensure the entire sealing ring is snug behind sealing ring rack.
After closing the lid, the sealing ring creates an airtight seal between lid and
cooker base.
The sealing ring is an integral part of product safety. Replace your sealing
ring every 12-18 months or when deformation or damage is noticed.
CAUTION Always check for cuts or deformations in sealing ring prior to cooking. Only use authorized
Instant Pot®sealing rings. Failure to follow these instructions may cause food to discharge,
which may lead to personal injury or property damage.

3Remove & Install Float Valve
The oat valve has 2 positions. It pops up to
indicate when the cooker is pressurized, and
lowers into the lid when the cooker
is depressurized.
Remove: Place one nger on the at top of oat
valve. Turn lid over. Detach silicone cap from
bottom side of oat valve. Remove oat valve from
top of lid. Do not discard oat valve or silicone cap.
The oat valve and silicone cap must be installed
before use to seal in pressurized steam.
Install: Drop oat valve into oat valve hole on top
of lid. Place one nger on the at top of oat valve.
Turn lid over. Attach silicone cap to bottom of
oat valve. Top Bottom

4Remove & Install Anti-Block Shield
Remove: Grip lid and press rmly against side of anti-block shield (pressing towards side of lid and
up) until it pops off the prongs underneath.
Anti-block shield must be installed before use and cleaned frequently.
Install: Place anti-block shield over prongs and press down until it snaps into position.
Anti-block shield prevents food particles from coming up through the steam release pipe, assisting
with pressure regulation.

Note: Always check inner pot for dents or deformations prior to cooking.
Remove & Clean Inner Pot
Remove inner pot from cooker base and wash with hot water and dish soap before rst use.
Wipe outer surfaces of inner pot and heating element to ensure they are dry and free of food debris.
Failure to do so may damage the cooker.
Place inner pot into cooker base before cooking. Food must be placed in inner pot, not cooker base.
The inner pot is an integral part of product safety. Always use an authorized Instant Pot inner pot when
cooking. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or property damage.
CAUTION To avoid risk of personal injury and/or
property damage, do not pour food or
liquid into cooker base.
WARNING Do not ll the inner pot higher than the
PC MAX — 2/3 line (Pressure
Cooking Maximum), as indicated on the inner pot.
Exercise extreme caution when cooking and venting food such
as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas,
noodles, etc., as these foods may foam, froth, or spatter, and
may clog the steam release pipe and/or steam release valve.
Do not ll the inner pot higher than the — 1/2 line when
cooking these foods.

Venting Methods

15
Venting Methods
Once cooking completes, there are 2 methods to release pressure:
Natural Release (NR)
Leave the steam release handle in the “Sealing” position. The cooker
dissipates heat so pressure releases naturally over time.
This method must be used when cooking food such as soups, stews
or chilis, as well as food that expands, such as beans and grains.
Note: Depressurization time will vary based upon volume of food and liquid.
May take 10-40 minutes, or longer.
Quick Release (QR)
Quickly and carefully turn the steam release handle from the
“Sealing” position to the “Venting” position. Note: It will be loud!
If spatter occurs, move the steam release handle back to “Sealing”, and try again after a few minutes.
If spatter continues, use NR to vent remaining pressure.
CAUTION Float valve will drop when cooker has
depressurized. Do not attempt to open the lid
while the oat valve is still popped up.
WARNING
Do not lean over or touch
the steam release handle.
Do not place unprotected
skin over the steam release
handle.
Do not cover or obstruct
the steam release
handle.
